Spinach + Mushroom Taquitos

Well, we are headed into June next week, meanwhile, I’m over here still celebrating Cinco de Mayo… not that I need an excuse to make Mexican food because it’s just so darn delicious. I had this idea to make taquitos, which I’ve never done before, and now I am kicking myself en la cabeza for not making these Spinach + Mushroom Taquitos sooner. They are so easy and so yummy and make the perfect appetizer for your next cookout (or make a great dinner for two).

I took soft corn tortilla shells and stuffed them with a spinach + mushroom and vegan cheese mixture and then topped them with fresh avocado, cilantro, and lime juice. I served them with a vegan nacho cheese sauce that I got from my friend Tamsin over at Cupful of Kale and it was the perfect dip!

The first batch of these Spinach +Mushroom Taquitos I rolled didn’t come out the best because I overstuffed them with filling (any other taco overstuffer offenders out there?!), so don’t stuff them too full. The second tip I am going to give you is to use a toothpick to hold them closed while you fry them. I got the hang of it by the last batch, but if you need to keep using toothpicks, that’s alright! 🙂

Oh no...This form doesn't exist. Head back to the manage forms page and select a different form.

I used coconut oil to fry these, and fried them in batches of four (to make it easier to flip them). The vegan nacho cheese sauce literally takes 5 minutes and is also good with tortilla chips- double win! So basically, this recipe is da bomb. I hope you like them as much as my dad did (he’s still raving about them lol)!
